Center for Biological Diversity
“At the Center for Biological Diversity, we believe that the welfare of human beings is deeply linked to nature — to the existence in our world of a vast diversity of wild animals and plants. Because diversity has intrinsic value, and because its loss impoverishes society, we work to secure a future for all species, great and small, hovering on the brink of extinction. We do so through science, law and creative media, with a focus on protecting the lands, waters and climate that species need to survive.
We want those who come after us to inherit a world where the wild is still alive.”
IANDS
“The International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS) is an educational nonprofit devoted to unraveling the mysteries of near-death experiences and related phenomena. We research NDEs, help guide experiencers toward compassionate support, and work tirelessly toward educating the public about NDEs as well.
Through all of these efforts, we can stop the stigmas experiencers face and normalize discussions about these life-changing events. And one day, we may unlock the secrets of near-death experiences and learn what they truly mean.”
No One Alone
“NOA (No One Alone) is dedicated to providing shelter, safety and support to victims of domestic violence and their children. In addition to providing emergency shelter, the program offers a 24-hour crisis line, case management, financial assistance, life skills groups, parenting classes, individual counseling and support groups, legal advocacy, and educational scholarships to help victims and their children achieve safety and stability.”
Life Vest Inside
“Life Vest Inside is a non-profit organization dedicated to inspiring, empowering and educating people of all backgrounds to lead a life of kindness. By recognizing the inherent value in oneself, one comes to recognize the inherent value in others. Life Vest Inside is born out of the idea that in a seemingly chaotic world with its bumps and curve balls, kindness, like a life vest, keeps us afloat; it makes us believe once again in ourselves, instills hope and helps us see the light at the end of the tunnel.”
